Reviews for Empowering Science and Mathematics Education in Urban Communities
"Edna Tan and Angela Calabrese Barton's stance that rather than asking students to change in order to fit into the culture of science and math, science and math should change to be responsive to the desires of students is a provocative one that raises new questions for educators." (Cory Buxton, University of Georgia)"
